Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado Returns After Nearly Year in Exile

Venezuelan Opposition Leader María Corina Machado Returns After Nearly Year in ExilePreviousNext

Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel laureate María Corina Machado returned to Venezuela after nearly a year in exile, announcing her arrival on social media. Her return follows the U.S. military's removal of former President Nicolás Maduro and the appointment of interim President Delcy Rodríguez, who has extended her tenure without scheduling elections. Machado's comeback is seen by supporters as a step toward democratic transition amid ongoing political uncertainty and strained U.S.-Venezuela relations. Machado has vowed to campaign for free and fair elections.
